I got a 50 watt solar panel and a charge controller for under $200 total that do a fine job of keeping my batteries up while on a mooring.

I'll be keeping the boat on a mooring. Ideally I'd install a properly designed solar charging system but I'm trying to kick that can down the road.

But it is only $400.00 It really depends on what you want to do with it. Run your AC? I don't think so. Charge your batteries through your onboard battery charger as you are away from shore power? Yes, it will do that. Run a few power tools while you are doing some work on the boat at a mooring or at anchor? Yes, it will do that too. Honda was the first to make these small inverter generators and theirs are reasonably quiet, though you probably won't make any friends running this in a silent anchorage at night. If you have to sit i on deck you will find it noisier below that above as the deck is like a soundboard. If you can leave it on the dock while it is running you will likely find it to be quiet. This one does seem to output 12 DC, 8 amps, directly. Look at the photos on the website. What did you want to do with it / use it for? Ken H.

They are also loud and use gasoline instead of diesel. It's a pull start only. They don't offer a 12v output. They are not marinized, flame arrested or corrosion proof/resistant to the level needed for long term marine use. They are also air cooled and exhaust to the air which means absolutely no inside use unlike a properly installed marine generator. 2200 running watts is likely to be 10amps @ 220v or 20 amps at 110v. Not likely to be on par with your shore power. You may struggle if running HVAC.
